Shot Arc control: Shot Aiming is one of the big changes we've introduced this year. Being able to both time and aim your shots is a fresh new skill to master and it's helped us widen the skill gap with shooting. Aiming works by pulling the Pro Stick down to start a jump shot. The speed of your Pro Stick movement dictates whether the ideal aim point skews to the left or right on the shot meter and then you adjust the aiming marker to the center of the release window. For next-gen, the stick speed also now controls the arc of your jump shot. Slow flicks will give you extra high arcs, while fast flicks will make your shot flat. It feels really good to be able to have that extra bit of control over how you shoot, and also a lot of fun sitting in the practice gym chucking up rainbow 3's. You also get a small bonus for shooting with an ideal shot arc, so it's important to be mindful of the tempo of your initial stick throw to make sure you give yourself the best chance at making the shot.
